Art: Mosaic Masters
Linked to our main topic, “Emperors and Empires”, our art topic for this term is “Mosaic Masters”. Throughout this topic, we will learn about the history of mosaics, before focusing on the colours, patterns and themes found in Roman mosaic. The children will learn techniques to help them design and make a mosaic border tile.

Art: Beautiful Botanicals
Following the Mosaic Masters lesson sequence, we move onto ‘Beautiful Botanicals’. This project teaches children about the genre of botanical art. We will create natural weavings, two-colour prints and beautiful and detailed botanical paintings of fruit.

Design and Technology: Greenhouse
Over the course of this project children will be taught about the purpose, structure and design features of greenhouses, and compare the work of two significant greenhouse designers. We will learn techniques to strengthen structures and use tools safely. We will then use our key learning to design and construct a mini greenhouse.
